In front of the fallen soldiers’ tent.
Noland Lee lifted the tent curtain, stroking his chin and thinking.
The fallen Imperial Soldiers were actually under the protection of Spirit Pivot…
No.
That’s not accurate.
The correct statement should be:
The moment the Imperial Soldiers fell, the Spirit Pivot would absorb the soul fragments from their corpses.
Over the past half an hour, Noland Lee had moved three “fresh” corpses and repeatedly confirmed this fact.
Furthermore, any living beings that died within Spirit Pivot’s range, regardless of whether or not they were killed by the Undead, would have their soul fragments taken by the Spirit Pivot.
If Noland Lee wanted to increase his Soul Strength, he would have to avoid the scope of Spirit Pivot’s influence.
Looking at the heated battle on the front lines, Noland Lee had a strange feeling.
He felt as if the Undead Cult was doing a risk-free trade.
Using the Eternal Essence inside the Spirit Pivot as bait and the threat of the land being tainted, they forced the Imperial Army to come and cleanse the Grave Vaults.
In the process, the Imperial Army had invested large amounts of resources and expended a great number of troops.
What did the Imperial Army gain?
The life-giving Eternal Essence and the Grave Vaults that could be taken by the
Undead at any moment.
The Undead Cult paid with the Eternal Essence, magic materials for constructing the Spirit Pivot, and casting materials for summoning the Undead Army.
Beyond that, there shouldn’t be any additional costs, right?
Were these expenses too much for the Undead Cult?
Noland Lee wasn’t an insider in the Undead Cult, so he wasn’t sure about the specifics.
But he thought that if the cost of war for the Undead Cult was a significant burden, then the group of Lost Souls would choose to rest underground and accumulate power.
Instead of instigating trouble in various Grave Vaults from time to time, as they were doing now, and forcing the Imperial Army to step in and clean up.
No matter how you looked at it, the Undead Cult had paid the material costs and gained souls in return.
For the Undead, who lived on souls, this was definitely a surefire gain.
“Chief Officer, I’ve moved the corpses of the fallen soldiers into the tent,” Noland said, wiping the sweat from his forehead and looking up at the guards on the high platform.
The guard looked down, about to say something, but his face suddenly filled with joy as he caught a glimpse of the staircase out of the corner of his eye: “My God! Look, everyone! Lieutenant Grett is back! Lieutenant Grett is back!”
